On the wall of Qingque tribe, Han Cheng stood there and looked around.
This time they were all climbing up to look far into the distance, not to marvel at the great development of the tribe, but to inspect the terrain around the courtyard and lay the foundation for the future planning of the tribe.
According to the current situation, the courtyard needs to be at least doubled in size.
Otherwise, after a few years of development, like it is now, the courtyard wall needs to be demolished again and then a bigger one built, which is extremely troublesome.
When it was being built bit by bit, I didn't realize there was anything wrong, but now if I want to tear it down and rebuild it, it will take a lot of effort.
Moreover, as the courtyard expands, the farmland near the courtyard will inevitably be occupied.
The farmlands near the courtyard were the first to be reclaimed in the tribe. After several years of cultivation, they have been completely transformed into cultivated land and are the best in the tribe.
The occupation of such arable land is really distressing for the Qingque tribe, who are currently cultivating more arable land.
But there is no point feeling sad. After several years of development, Han Cheng had tried to build the courtyard as large as possible when it was first built, but it can no longer adapt to today's form.
It has come to the point where the plan must be revised. Otherwise, it will be even more troublesome to think about expansion when the population and other things in the tribe are almost full...
While Han Cheng was standing there thinking about how to expand, the former leader of the Huangguo tribe, now Dou, and several other former Huangguo tribe members, together with some old men from the Qingque tribe, carried farm tools and came to a place not too far from the east side of the wall to plow the soil.
After the beginning of spring, this completely different lifestyle allowed Dou and other people from the former Huangguo tribe to have a more intuitive understanding of the Qingque tribe.
In winter, they felt the abundance, comfort and peace of the Qingque tribe. Now, all they felt was tiredness.
Digging, digging, and more digging. This kind of work of turning over the soil with tools and then breaking it up is enough to make people who are exposed to this kind of work for the first time feel miserable.
Before doing this kind of work, Dou felt that the most tiring thing was hunting.
Because they need to find prey in the wild, and after finding the prey, they need to chase and fight it. Sometimes after a day, they feel like they have no strength left.
But after digging for several days in a row, Dou would rather go hunting in the wild than dig the ground here anymore.
Not only did I get blisters on my hands, but after a day of rubbing, I felt like I didn't want to move at all. When I got up the next day, I felt sore all over.
These are not the most important things. The most important thing is that this kind of work seems to never end.
Hunting is different. You will only feel tired when you are chasing and fighting with the prey. The rest of the time is basically fine.
However, what made him uncomfortable was that hunting was not often carried out, because the tribe raised a lot of prey, and they would catch one or two after a period of time to improve their lives, and they rarely went out hunting.
Regarding hunting, Dou missed the tribe's previous hunting methods. As for the Qingque tribe's hunting methods, Dou, who had participated in it once, felt that it was not as comfortable as honestly turning the soil in the fields of the tribe.
When he learned that the people of the Qingque tribe were calling him to go out hunting together, he dug the ground and ground two handfuls of soaked beans. He was so happy that he almost jumped up. He put his hoe on the ground and prepared to look for weapons.
Then he was told that he didn't need to take any other weapons and only needed the bronze hoe.
Tian Naidou thought about the weight of the bronze hoe and how sharp it was, and felt that this kind of digging tool would also be very good for hunting.
If this weapon were to hit the prey all at once, few would be able to withstand it.
Then, carrying a hoe, he set out with the Qingque tribe's hunting team, feeling relieved and happy that he no longer had to dig the ground...
After arriving at the place, Dou realized that he was completely wrong.
What the tribesmen called hunting was completely different from the hunting he was familiar with before.
There was no drama of looking for prey and then running to chase it. Instead, after selecting several locations in succession, several people divided into groups and started digging with hoes and bronze shovels.
Compared with ordinary tillage, digging deeper holes would undoubtedly require more effort. This made Dou speechless and choked up, and he also secretly grumbled about this unique hunting method in the tribe.
This way of hunting was something he had never heard of.
How could one catch prey in a pit like this?
These preys are not stupid. How could they jump into such a pit?
However, the next day, the prey that broke its leg in the pit proved to Dou with its life that they just liked to jump into such pits.
Just like everything else, this efficient, safe and unique way of hunting once again made Dou realize that no method in the tribe should be underestimated.
However, since that time, Dou was no longer eager to hunt with the Qingque tribe, because it was not as comfortable as just digging the ground honestly.
After nearly ten days of adaptation, Dou and the people of the former Huangguo tribe have gradually become accustomed to this intensity of labor.
It was at this time that Dou and the others finally understood why this tribe had so many precious foods and precious things.
These things did not come out of thin air, but were made bit by bit with great hard work and effort.
But it is precisely because of the hard work and sweat now that everyone can live a prosperous life without worrying about starving.
Only then could they sleep on a warm kang and eat food that was even richer and more abundant than in previous seasons when the rest of the tribes were starving in the ice and snow.
After a lot of hard work, the beans were boiled. These newcomers who had recently joined the Qingque tribe were not overwhelmed by the heavy work. On the contrary, thinking about the affluent life in the tribe and comparing it with their previous days, they felt like working hard together with the old hands of the Qingque tribe.
Sure enough, labor is not only the source of wealth, but also a means to make people smarter.
After coming to the Qingque tribe, Dou has experienced too many surprises, shocks, and confusions. Today, he will undoubtedly experience such things again.
Because before they had dug for long, the young and wise Son of God came out from the tribe, came to them, and told them with a smile that the fields here did not need to be turned over...
